Picture it- you’re walking through a forest, sunlight filtering through the trees.You hear a rustling and catch a glimpse of movement in the corner of your eye. A ring-tailed lemur leaps through the foliage, landing to your right.

Leapin’ lemurs! Make sure to keep any eye out for lemurs in the trees around you.

No you’re not in Madagascar – you’revisiting the zoo’s brand new habitatLand of Lemurs! Guests will experience three different species of lemurs as they wander through the interactive space.

In 2012, the Calgary Zoo opened the Penguin Plunge building to great success. As the zoo prepares to open its newest addition since Penguins, we looked to repeat what has made Penguin Plunge so popular. In particular- proximity to the species! This experience will take you on a path right through where our lemurs live.

Stay tuned for more lemur information to come leaping your way.Sneak peek updates will be posted weekly until the opening.
